A related issue would be whether some types of shrimps can be kept in groups or must be kept singly. I have two boxer shrimps that keep fighting and snapping each others' claws off, so in the end had to separate them, one into the sump the other left in the display tank. :(

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

got experince with 1 boxer shrimp, 2 fire and 2 cleaner shrimps.

they are doing well with one another

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Avoid the common boxer Stenopus hispidus.

Stenopus scutellatus, Stenopus tenuirostris, Stenopus devaneyi make better choices as I have kept these before and they don't exhibit much aggression to small fish except to their own kind. My S.devaneyi was actually about 2-3 times the size of my S.tenuirostris but it got bullied by the small fella as it was in the tank first.

A link I found..not in English

See so peaceful.. :lol:

Always something more important than fish.
